The overall feedback is highly positive regarding the core product, with a few notes on easily replaceable components.
The Positives
The keyboard is fantastic! Out of the box, it has a sound that I absolutely love, which is a huge plus for a ready-to-use product.
Areas for Improvement
I noted two specific components I will replace soon:
Cable: While functional, the cable is not ideal. I would have preferred even a basic braided (telato) cable. I'll replace it as soon as possible.
Keycaps: The keycap printing isn't great. I would have liked different keycaps, but trying to buy a set (like Akko or from the official site) is difficult due to availability issues. I plan to change the keycaps set immediately.
In conclusion: The keyboard is an excellent base, and the minor issues are easy for me to fix by replacing the parts.
Happy with the board.

Shipping was much faster than expected, having to order from the CA warehouse as the DE warehouse wouldn't let me ship to the UK. I went for the Rosewood switches after a lot of deliberation and I have absolutely made the correct decision, they sound amazing and feel great to type and game on. The housing is extremely sturdy and feels very premium, it is very heavy! It came with a bunch of extra keycaps which I needed as it came in a different layout to UK keyboards, it comes with a keycap picker which made that very easy. It also comes with a switch picker. I have seen some people complain of spring crunch and needing extra lube with the Rosewoods but I haven't had any problem at all. It also came with a cute little 9th anniversary badge. To be honest, I'm half writing this review as an excuse to type with this thing, I couldn't recommend it enough.

Reviews in Other Languages
Ich mag es fühlt sich gut an und sehr schwer
Bin durchaus mit der Tastatur zufrieden. Verglichen mit anderen Herstellern der Preisklasse ist diese sehr gut. Der Sternanzug geht allerdings in Richtung Software. Diese gibt's es nicht wirklich...über opensource Via lässt sich zwar einiges steuern, ist aber von der Bedienbarkeit und Umfang nicht wirklich gut...RGB Beleuchtung kann nur vordefiniert einstellt werden.
Bin sehr zufrieden mit der Verarbeitung! Das Einrichten war auch schnell und unproblematisch. Alles super bis auf ein paar Abstrriche:
1. USB-Port-Öffnung ist nur etwas klein und Gummiabdichtung fliegt raus.
2. Ferner verstehe ich auch nicht warum der Umschalter mac-win-cable UNTER der Capslock-Taste versteckt wird.
